Are you sure there is anything there? It may be an optical effect due to
the refraction of the coating. In investigating, note the orientation
effect: more pronounced N-S and less so E-W. If there is something
there, this may give you a clue as to its origin. If it is optical,
reorient the lighting (or the sample) and see whether the max/min moves
with it.

My PCB supplier said that since the PCBs passed isolation test, those residues should not pose any problem. In addition, as IPC has no such reference in 6012 and 600, my PCB supplier suggest that I use them as UAI. I am concern about long term effect on reliability after assembly, especially such PCBs will be used for space application. Your expertise and opinion will be greatly appreciated.
